Application filed April 17, r1924. fierial -No. 1707,2612.

This invention relates to improvements in :a bathing device and has forits object to.

provide means whereby abather may pump water over himself, through the'manipulation of his foot.

r rnother:objectwot :the invention is to provide a bathing pumpembracing a pair of telescopically connected cylinders one of whichcontrols a'piston in the other. i

Another object of the invention isto provide a pump mounted upon a baseupon which a bather is adapted to stand, said pump embracing a footoperated mechanism. \Vith the above and such other objectsfin view asmay hereinafter more fully appear, I have invented the deviceillustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 is an elevational view of my improved bathing pump; 1 Figure 2is a top plan view thereof; Figure 3 is an elevational view, partly insection, showing the device in operation; and

Figure 4. is an enlarged, vertical, sectional view of the device.

Like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the followingspecification and in the several views in the drawings in which 1indicates a pump, consisting of a pair of telescopically connectedcylinders 2 and 3 the inner cylinder 2 being a pump cylinder and beingprovided with an inlet valve 4: and an outlet port 5 the bottom wall 6of the pump in which the valve at is located being ofi'set from the base7 upon which said cylinder 2 is fixedly mounted. The base 7 is of alength to form an extension 8 which is adapted to seat upon the bottomof a top 9 and upon which the bather is adapted to stand whereby theJump is held fixed while being operated. onnect ed with the outlet 5 isa passageway 10 having an outlet port 11, controlled by a valve 12 inthe compartment13 from which water is adapted to pass through the portsl-t into the tube 15 to which is connected a flexible tube 16, said tubehaving a spray 17 connected to its free end. The cylinder 3 is slidablymounted over the cylinder 2 and has an operating member 18 fixed to itslower edge 19. Projecting from this member 18 is a heel plate 20 bymeans of which the cylinder 3, may be moved downwardly over the cylinder2, against the tension of the spring 21, seated between the upper wall23. ot' thecylinderS, said spring lbeing coiled.

around the piston .rod 24, to the. lower end of which the piston 25 isconnectedand operatingithrough .theaperture v26 in the wall 22. The baseGot .the pump is provided with an annular, internally threaded flange 27into which the lower threaded end 280 5 the cyl' inder 2 is threaded.

There are provided in the outer cylinder diametrically opposed slots inwhich slide bolts 30, the bolts serving also to anchor the cap 22 to theinternal cylinder 2.

Having described my invention that which I claim to be new and desiretoprocure by Letters Patent is:

1. A water pump including a pair of cylinders slidable one over theother, the inner cylinder having a bottom with a water inlet and a wateroutlet, a valve within said inner cylinder controlling said inlet, avalve controlling said outlet outside of said inner cylinder, and anipple extending from said last valve, a cap for said inner cylinder,said outer cylinder having opposing guide slots, bolts extending throughsaid slots and forming securing means for said cap.

2. A water pump including a pair of cylinders slidable one over theother, the inner cylinder having a bottom with a water inlet and a wateroutlet, a valve within said inner cylinder controlling said inlet, avalve controlling said outlet outside of said inner cylinder, and anipple extending from said last valve, a cap for said inner cylinder,said outer cylinder having opposing guide slots, bolts extending throughsaid slots and forming securing means forsaid cap, a compression springseated between said cap and the head of the outer cylinder.

5. In combination in a pump, a pair of telescoping cylinders, a pedalmember carried by the outer cylinder, longitudinal channels in the outercylinder, the inner cylinder provided with a cap, means for anchoringthe cap to the inner cylinder, the anchoring means extending into thechannels.

6. In combination in a pump, a pair of telescoping cylinders, one of thecylinders provided with. a longitudinal groove, a pedal carried by theouter cylinder and means carried by the inner cylinder adapted to slidein the groove for alining the pedal.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
